I used to pretend I was a secretary, so I really got a lot of "training" because I read all sorts of secretaries' handbooks. I theoretically also know how to use a dictaphone and send telegrams. Unfortunately, I learned to how to be a secretary from the '50's, but I do know my office supplies.
They're doing it backwards; walking up the down slide.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heh. Television from the 1960s made me think all offices had a bar.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Also, before he goes to college, can you make sure he understands the difference between an envelope and a folder?
And that he knows to look up from his cell phone before stepping into the street? Although, by the time he's in college, all the equipment for whatever kids those days use for communication will probably be embedded into their brains or something. (And possibly Brooklyn kids are better at this. The kids at my university are largely rural and suburban, and seem to have no idea that they're supposed to look before crossing the street.)

msbelle, I appreciate the checking in. I didn't think it was nearby, but I also wasn't sure if you'd be down/upwind from all that crap either.

One of our dojo kids moved to the Waco area a year ago (she still has a massive crush on CJ). I logged into CJ's FB this morning to see if she had checked in and was happy to see a post from her.
It is time to lay off on the tragedies world. I know "no one dies today" isn't possible but can we at least aim for that?

Good Luck Strix!
Stay safe and dry, Chicagoistas!

msbelle, I'm glad to hear it! I thought you weren't especially nearby, but I'm definitely glad to have you check in and say so.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
What Kate said, msbelle.
Lee, yep. I pass by the sign for it every time I'm on the BW Parkway or Route 32.
